COWI POWERPOINT PRESENTATION
Marine Licensing
› marine operators
› pay for data for licence applications in about half
Member States
› collect additional detailed site specific data
› hand over marine data to authorities in 10 out of 12
cases
› re-use allowed
› usually made available for upon request
› some restrictions for commercially sensitive data

MSFD
› 12 countries responded to MSFD questionnaire
› Most countries have only used existing data for initial reporting
Estimate of total data cost for initial reporting in 22
coastal MS and Croatia:
€19 Million/year
Estimate of cost for existing and new monitoring
programmes for the period 2013-2020
€64 Million/year
Most data gaps
Underwater Noise, Habitats,
Marine litter
Highest future costs expected from data on
Physical Features, Habitats,
Functional Groups

projected growth in offshore wind capacity until 2020
estimated data cost for 200 MW offshore wind farm
planning phase
construction phase
costs for operation phase
total estimated costs for 38-54 GW offshore wind capacity

Legal & Governance Issues
› possible options for DG MARE initiative could be
› amendment of existing legal instruments, new legislation,
soft law measures or a combination of these.
› amendments to existing legislation could include
› INSPIRE Directive, Public Access to Environmental
Information Directive or Public Sector Information Directive.
› governance options for Marine Knowledge
› Regulatory Agency, Executive Agency, Joint Initiative or
Public Private Partnership
› PPP governance solution would be limited by wish to
make data available at marginal cost

COWI POWERPOINT PRESENTATION
Innovation & Reduced Uncertainty
› innovation:
› mitigating risks to production
› Minimising economic losses from jellyfish blooms, reducing economic impacts of ocean
acidification etc.
› development of innovative products and services
› ecotourism based services, offshore aquaculture cage design, innovation in aquatic pharmacy
products etc
› reduction in uncertainty:
› Design optimization of offshore installations
› Optimisation of cable protection to reduce risk of damage
› Improved site accessibility for operations and maintenance of offshore wind
› A better assessment of energy yield to assist in optimising site selection
› Optimized ship navigation routes based on hydrographical data
